The testis specificity index was calculated from modENCODE tissue expression data by Vedelek et al., 2018 to indicate the degree of testis enrichment compared to other tissues. Scores range from -2.52 (underrepresented) to 5.2 (very high testis bias).

Please Note This section lists cDNAs and ESTs that fall within the genomic extent of the gene model, which may include cDNAs and ESTs of genes within introns, or of overlapping genes. Please see JBrowse for alignment of the cDNAs and ESTs to the gene model.
For each fully sequenced cDNA the DGRC maintains various forms of the cDNA (e.g tagged or untagged) in several different host vectors for subsequent cloning and expression in Drosophila and Drosophila cell lines.
Area matching Drosophila manganese superoxide dismutase gene, Acc. No. L34276.
There appears to be an optimal level of Sod2 activity which minimzes oxidative stress. The naturally evolved level appears to be near the optimal required under normal conditions, although the optimum may be shifted to a higher level under more stressful conditions.
Structure and expression of Sod2 is studied.
A Sod2 cDNA has been cloned and sequenced.
Phylogenetic trees for 25 Cu-Zn superoxide dismutases (including D.melanogaster Sod and Dvir\Sod) and 31 Mn/Fe superoxide dismutases (including D.melanogaster Sod2) have been constructed and the evolutionary rate of change for the two groups of proteins has been compared.
